List of newspapers in Pakistan
Following is a list of newspapers in Pakistan. With Urdu as the national language of Pakistan and Urdu and English as the official languages, the majority of newspapers cater to those demographics. However, regional language newspapers also maintain a sizable circulation, with the Sindhi language newspapers leading the way.[citation needed]
Most news sources are owned by a few media conglomerates with Jang Group, Nawai Waqt Group, and Dawn Group delivering the majority of the dispatches. All of these groups existed before the Pakistani independence and created a niche in both print and broadcast media. Other smaller, but significant, media agencies include Khabrain Group, Express News Group, Business Recorder Group and Media Times Ltd (owner of Daily Times and Aaj Kal newspapers) and Naba News Network.[citation needed]
